In Hinduism

Vedanta (school of philosophy)

: Google Books: Sankara’s Vedanta through His Upanisad Commentaries

ʲᲹ첹 (परिव्राज�) in the medieval period designated the most radical type of renunciation.—Śaṅkara often uses terms for renunciation drawn from the Bṛhadāraṇyaka-upaniṣad: ܳٳٳԲ (“transcendence”—literally “intensely rising up or away from�), 󾱰ṣācⲹ (“begging�) and 貹ᾱ (“one who goes forth”—appearing mostly in its derivative form 貹Ჹ첹, which by the medieval period designated the most radical type of renunciation). But he also interjects the synonyms ṃn (“set down completely�) and ٲ岵 (“letting go� or “abandoning�) or pariٲ岵 (“complete letting go� or complete abandoning) both widely used in epic sources such as the Bhagavadgītā and in more specialized medieval Vedānta sources focusing exclusively on renunciation.

ʲᲹ첹 (परिव्राज�) refers to �(religious) heretics�, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 2).—Accordingly, “[Question.—Why do Buddhist ūٰ begin with the word evam, ‘thus�?]—[...] Furthermore, all religious heretics (tīrthika-貹Ჹ첹) imagine that their own doctrine is subtle (ūṣm) and absolutely pure (貹śܻ). These people exalt the doctrine that they practice and denigrate (nindanti) that of others. That is why, here below, they quarrel and argue; after death, they fall into hell (naraka) and suffer immense pain of all kinds. [...]�.
